It's devastating to know that your furry friend hasn't got long left, so one vet has described what dogs may feel in their final moments.
Losing a beloved pet is always heartbreaking, no matter how it happens. All we can really hope for is that they live a long and happy life with us and simply pass away from old age rather than for any harm to come to them.
Dogs are extremely social animals, and they thrive from human companionship. It's thought that by observing changes to our speech, mood, and emotions, dogs can differentiate their owners' feelings, including those of sadness or excitement. The vet nurse added: "In your dog's final moments, we'd recommend letting them be surrounded by familiar things they love, this could be their dog bed or blanket, as well as a favourite toy, and not forgetting, their favourite people if you feel up to staying with them.
